**I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**

This novel started very slow for me; just a little too much exposition. While it does a good job of establishing the characters, it makes things seem a little rushed once you get to the meat of the situation. Plus, Kate isn't that complex of a character so it doesn't take a lot of time to get to know her.

Lucas on the other hand is quite complex--and rather angry and violent. I don't mind violence in my stories but I didn't like how is anger would influence his interactions with Kate. While his behaviour is explained later on in the novel, prior to that, it made me a little uncomfortable. It really made the relationship between him and Kate appear to be very unhealthy and I don't enjoy that type of relationship in my YA novels.

Once everything is revealed, I really liked the premise. It was a twist I really didn't see coming and it kept my attention. It was something I have never really read about so I liked that a lot.

Unfortunately though, I don't think I will be picking up the sequel. I didn't really bond with these characters in any way and by the time the overarching plot was revealed, I was a little over the rest of the story. BUT, I think this is a great introductory novel for those who want to try out an urban fantasy novel.
